Planning Your First Tibet Tour

A first journey to Tibet often begins with several important questions. Which permits are required? How many days should you allow? Is it better to take a train or fly to Lhasa? Should you join a group tour or arrange a private itinerary? Our first-time Tibet travel guide answers these questions in one place. It explains the main entry requirements, transportation options, recommended routes, accommodation, packing and altitude preparation.

Scheduled group tours are generally suitable for travelers looking for a more affordable option with fixed departure dates and a planned itinerary. Private tours offer greater flexibility over travel dates, accommodation, itinerary pace and destinations. Whichever option you choose, a well-paced itinerary is essential. Allowing time to rest in Lhasa before traveling to higher destinations such as Everest Base Camp can make the journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
